  • 2014 Preseason Rankings

    Based of Las Vegas betting odds for games. I think they avoid Week 17 because playoffs might be locked up and teams could sit starters. So a full slate of Vegas spreads might look different.

    Last year, I derived implied SRS Ratings for each NFL team based on the initial Vegas point spreads. Well, lines have been set for the first 240 games of the year — i.e., every week but week 17 — which means we can re-run the exercise for 2014. So how do we use point spread


    Code:
    Rk	Team 			MOV	SOS	SRS
    1	Seattle Seahawks	5.1	0.92	6.02
    2	Denver Broncos		5.53	0.15	5.68
    3	San Francisco 49ers	4.3	0.81	5.11
    [B]4	Green Bay Packers	3.5	0.3	3.8[/B]
    5	New England Patriots	3.6	-0.39	3.21
    6	New Orleans Saints	2.07	0.78	2.85
    
    MOV = Margin of Victory
    SOS = Strength of Schedule
    SRS = Simple Rating System (this is the power ranking)
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    That's about right. Id MM's prediction of a vastly improved "D" comes to fruition we will be very tough. If we get improved play from our TE position and better Red Zone stat's that will be gravy.

    The Saints need a better two pronged attack to move up. They may miss this fella of two-three seasons ago.
